Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle was born in 2004 and arrived with her friend Coco and two donkeys after their elderly owners could no longer care for them. They could not a find a home anywhere and their future looked bleak so we just couldn't turn them away... Tinkerbelle and Coco are minature mules, which means they had a donkey father and pony mother, but Tinkerbelle was an unplanned, accidental birth and is especially tiny. She has ‘dwarfism’ which brings with it some congenital physical abnormalities; as well as very short legs, she has a misaligned jaw and her mouth is too small for her teeth, which has to be managed with regular dental checkups. Tinkerbelle is very friendly and cheeky! |
